The fallout forced CEO Martin Winterkorn to resign, although he denied wrongdoing. U.S. authorities issued an arrest warrant for Winterkorn in 2018, but Germany does not extradite its nationals. His trial in Germany was paused in 2021 due to health issues, but he remains a key figure under investigation.
Sounds like execs are familiar with milking the legal process regardless of nationality or prosecuting nation.

Gefängnisvergnügen
It took 10 years? Well even longer because they figured something was wrong before it came public.
The court sent the former head of diesel engine development behind bars for four years and six months, and the former head of powertrain electronics to two years and seven months.
